Ohio public high school hosting “A Covered Girl Challenge,” asking students to wear hijab for a day

Mason High School is in Mason, Ohio. Several parents have passed on to me the notice below, which they received from the school. Note that the Muslim Student Association is involved — a group with tie to the Muslim Brotherhood. When is Wear the Cross Day at Mason High? When is Wear a Yarmulke Day at Mason High? Or is it only Islam that gets this treatment?

When is their day? When will anyone stand in solidarity with them? Women who don’t wear hijab in Muslim countries are far more likely to be victims of violence than hijabis in the West. Who speaks for them?

Please contact Mason High School Principal Mindy McCarty-Stewart at mccartym@mason.k12.oh.us or (513) 398-5025 and politely and courteously ask her why Islam is being accorded this special treatment, what observances she has planned to honor Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism, and how she plans to alert students to the all-too-common oppression of women who don’t wear headscarves in Muslim countries. Remember that over at Hamas-linked CAIR they will be licking their chops and ready to pounce on any indication that McCarty-Stewart has been getting “hate messages” or “threats.” Do not give them ammunition in their jihad against freedom: be calm, respectful and reasonable in all communications, limiting discussion to asking why Islam is getting this preferential treatment in a public school.

Mason High School is blessed to have a unique and diverse student body. In order celebrate this diversity and promote open mindedness, the Muslim Student Association is inviting all female students to participate in “A Covered Girl Challenge” which will allow students to wear a headscarf for the whole school day. Afterwards, there will be a discussion (open for all students, male & female) held in Z223 to share experiences and reflections.

In order to participate, students and/or parents should attend the informational meeting offered and turn in the attached permission slip to Student Activities or Mrs. Jenkin’s room in Z223.

On the morning of April 23rd, there will be booths set up in A2, C1, and Z1 to help participators adjust their scarves and answer any questions.
